I am a college student with a scholarship and in december 2012 i will finish my career, but now i'm pregnant. My boyfriend also goes with me to college and decided to support me but I'm very scared about this situation (and about my relationship with him as i'm not sure if he will be responsible enough), i don't want to loose my scholarship but i'm not sure if i can do it with a baby on the way. I'm so confused.

I remember when i was at Uni one of the girl's fell pregnant in her final year and she was a dance student....she completed the whole course apart from a few changes and we all learnt that the dance was actually good for both mother and baby. She graduated and so did baby.

Happy ending, just to say her study was physical as well as theory and she managed fine.

good luck

RedAthena agony auntAre there any counselors at your school that you can go to for guidance? Let them know your circumstances and what you have planned to finish your education.

Do not expect others to help you figure out HOW to graduate. You will need to get help and support with your new baby. You are not the first, and you will not be the last.

Continuing with your education is the BEST thing you could do for your child. In the years to come, you will be able to provide a better quality of life for him/her.

Best Wishes.

Think of it this way: Your scholarship is your livelihood. It's how you're making your money, so to speak. It would be like holding a job while you're pregnant -- and millions of women do that every single year. And those same women go back to work and carry on with their lives after having their child.

Form a support system and start making plans NOW for how childcare will work out when you go back to school. That way, you're fully prepared.

Whether your boyfriend is going to be responsible enough remains to be seen, so don't stress over this portion too much for now. Take it one day at a time, one step at a time.

You've earned a scholarship, so I have high hopes that you will be able to graduate and be successful!
